Inscription (modern replacement)

This monument replaces the original memorial
to the Brown Dog erected by public
subscriptions in Latchmere Recreation
Ground, Battersea, in 1906. The sufferings of
Brown Dog at the hands of vivisectors
generated much protest and mass
demonstrations. It represented the revulsion
of the people of London to vivisection and
animal experimentation. This new monument
is dedicated to the continuing struggle to end
these practices.
After much controversy the former monument
was removed in the early hours of 10th March
1910. This was the result of a decision taken
by the then Battersea Metropolitan Borough
Council, the previous council having
supported the erection of the memorial.

The original fountain was a memorial to the "Brown Dog", erected and paid for by the Anti Vivisection Society. For more details of the original "Brown Dog" fountain and the modern replacement see here and here. The original fountain was one of several Design-140 drinking fountains.
